Secure document handling during user onboarding requires more than a clean login flow. When products need identity proof — such as address documents, signed forms, or business registrations — files must be governed from upload to deletion. Key practices include defining file type/size rules, limiting reviewer access to only necessary fields, masking sensitive data, logging all actions, and setting retention/deletion policies. Connecting document review with account signals (verified email, device history, profile details) helps reviewers prioritize attention without rejecting ordinary mismatches. Tools like PDF-to-Word converters can assist review workflows but must operate within controlled, auditable processes rather than ad-hoc email or shared drives.
